Fugitives from Puerto Rico found in Allentown apartment, police say

Two men wanted on separate charges in Puerto Rico were arrested in an Allentown apartment Wednesday by U.S. marshals and city police, according to court records.

Marshals and police searched an apartment in the 2000 block of Vine Street after receiving a tip that a wanted person was living there, records say.

Yamil Tirado-Rivera, no current address provided, was questioned by police and said his name was Edgar Pacheco, records say. An ID with Pacheco's name was found nearby, but authorities in Puerto Rico verified through pictures and tattoos that it was Tirado-Rivera and he told them his real name, records say. Police also found a 9 mm gun hidden in a closet shelf in Tirado-Rivera's room and he is not allowed to possess a firearm, police said.

Tirado-Rivera is wanted for larceny in Puerto Rico and is charged with giving a false identity, receiving stolen property and person not to possess a firearm. He was sent to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $120,000 bail.

Angel Morales-Dejesus was also found in the apartment. He is wanted in Puerto Rico for weapons violations and a burglary charge, police said. The 29-year-old Morales-Dejesus was sent to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $105,000 bail.
